2 New Chapters in 2 IXO Collections
We had word today of the next IXO delivery, due at the beginning of May, which will have the next releases in the 1:43 La Storia and Le Mans Winners collections on it.
From La Storia, we will see Gerhard Berger’s 1987 Ferrari F1 87 (IXSF12), and from the Le Mans Winners we will see the 2003 Bentley Speed 8 of Kristensen, Smith and Capello. (LM2003).
We received a lot of requests today for the Sebastien Vettel 1:43 2006 BMW F1.06 test car (DC26443V), which I had forgotten to mention was released on Friday along with Hamilton’s 1:18 McLaren MP4/22 (DC2702) and Doohan’s 1:12 Honda NSR 500 (P976101). It has already sold out though; it arrived last thing on Friday and we didn’t have time to photograph it before the weekend, and only had a couple spare from our allocation which had also sold by the time we came back into the office this morning. Vettel and Robert Kubica are very hot properties at the moment – as ever, pre-ordering really is the safest way to secure the replicas you want. Wait until they are released, and you run the very real risk of missing out and having to trawl through Ebay.
